                           Ground  Hog  Day
"Holly", yelled Taylor as the two best friends made  their way home from school.  What, Holly yelled back from across the street.  Holly had  just crossed  the street but Taylor had gotten held up by a red pickup  truck. "Come on, our favorite show starts in a few  minutes she said.  We have plenty of time yelled Taylor, finally catching up to Holly.  Just then a little  girl with blond hair and pigtails came running up behind  them with her mother right behind her.  Wow,  I wonder were they were headed to  Taylor said.  It  looks like theyre headed to some kind of party down  at the end of the block  Holly said.  Lets go down there and check it out  Taylor said.  I thought we  were going to  watch TV  Holly whined.  We will only go down there for a little while and then well go watch TV Taylor said.  O.K. lets go Holly finally agreed.  The two of them ran down the street, and around the corner.  When they finally got there they  saw parents and kids ever-where.  They looked around to see if they could find someone they knew to ask about the party.  They couldnt find anyone they knew so they asked a woman that was walking by what the party was about.  She told them that the party was a Ground Hogs Day party.  She said that in a few minutes they were going to see if Phil the ground hog would see his shadow.  Yah  said  Holly,  I read about ground hogs day in school.  If Phil sees his shadow there is  going to be six more weeks of winter.  Thats right said the lady,  and if he doesnt then spring is coming  early this year.  Cool, I cant wait to see if he sees his  shadow or not, this is going to be a great party Holly said.  O.K. everyone,  lets see if winter is coming to an  end, a man said as he opened up the box.  Phil came out and he saw his shadow.  The two girls stuck around and had a good time.  They couldnt wait for the next ground hogs day party.
